Where Hip-Hop Meets History
Posted by Bossip Staff
On January 19th, BDR is hosting the Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball featuring T.I., LLCool J and Jeezy:
Russell Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Valeisha Butterfield and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) have partnered with Heineken and Myspace Music to sponsor the Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball. Simmons’ HSAN is hosting the star-studded black tie gala, in honor of President-elect Barack Obama’s historic inauguration.
Superstars T.I., Young Jeezy, and LL Cool J will co-host the event with Russell Simmons, who emphasized the importance of young adults’ voting power in Obama’s 2008 run. “The Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball will be a fantastic gala and upscale party in celebration of Barack Obama being inaugurated President of the United States,” Simmons explained. “We are also recognizing the outstanding contributions of T.I., LL Cool J, and Young Jeezy in helping turn out the largest young adult vote in history.”
Given that this is a Russell Simmons joint, we don’t expect any thuggery to go down. Fortunately, Bossip will be there to cover the event, so stay tuned for a full report of all the action.

Dear Mr. Jeezy,
Your head is awful.
Thank you.
I’ve seen LL perform in person, and it was fun. . .He’s like fine wine. . .*fans self*
Dear Mr. Jeezy and Mr. Ne-Yo,
I believe that you share a paternal father…you should investigate that.
Thank you.
When he licks his lips and smiles. . .Have mercy. . .

JEEZY= HUMPTY DUMPTY
Lets git it in Black People!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll pass.
Those pictures look like whats wrong with hip hop today.
1. TI is the best of the worse the south has to offer. (he aint that good ladies)
2. LL cut his own throat, when the n*gga was rappin’ about how good he was and braggin/battlin’ n*ggas loved him, then he started that “lover” sh*t, n*ggas lost interest and LL lost us.
3. Jeezy just f*ckin’ sucks, he cant even rap.
JEEZY FUCKED UP THIS WHOLE IMPORTANCE OF THIS
…I WAS KOOL ‘TIL SAW THE LIKES OF THAT BISCUIT-MUHFUCCA YO
Why they tryna steal the lime light from the real inauguration on Jan 20th ? smh…..
I wondered if you would mention thuggery. Haha. Over here (UK) our MOBO Awards have that vibe now and it’s in its dying days. It used to be broadcast on Terrestial TV, now its relegated to some digital channel (sorry not dissing your awards Kanya, but it’s true). Send over Simmons to sort it out.
[...] and Jeezy: Russell Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Valeisha Butterfield and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) have partnered with Heineken and Myspace Music to sponsor the Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball. [...]
now they want to dress up..LL I will say at least has “grown up” TI & Jeez…well they’re still posing.suits, ties, both are wearing their court outfits to the party. corny.I believe LL voted.these 2..probably CAN’T!& WHILE WE ARE ON IT….Chavis grow the FUCK UP ALREADY!You went from reppin with Reginald F. Lewis to hanging with FOXY BROWN & the rest of the loser set in hip hop!
Blood Diamond Russ and Benjamin Chavis together, somebodys getting ripped off for sure.
“partnered with Heineken”, this is the problem with Hip-Hop…letting liquor, Philp Morris and other detrements to Black Society dictate Black culture and influence….SMDH!!
I am tired…Honestly…why not have Apple or some other corporation that should had an invested interest in the Black Commmunity host this…shoot! The CEO of Time/Warner is Black and lives in NYC…Why couldn’t “Blood Diamond” Russ and these so called Hip-Hop Historians asked Time/Warner to buy into this and shape the media image of blacks…whichi is right about now about: Liquor, Sex, Drugs!!! Need I say more?!!!!
I agree with ThatBKChick!! First of all, for real? Jeezy – who has not only made thuggery an art form, he’s tied up in BMF and a bunch of nonsense…come on! And HE’s who is being honored/hosting this event?? What-the-f**k-ever. And Jeezy, please wear a hat at ALL times dammit! lol
I heard Jeezy and Jadakiss headlining the Ninja Turtle Look Alike Tour….Neyo is scheduled to also make a Guest Appearance.
I really am starting to dislike hating a@! black women. All yall do is b#$@ and complain all dam day, I can see if there were 5 black women doing anything good in music or anything of importance besides condeleeza Rice and Oprah. Black Women think that every Black Dude is Gay or on the Down Low. The only reason that they hate on interracial couples is if the dudes is rich and black otherwise they wont even be mad, they hate when dudes try to talk to the in the streets, then go home a cry because they are so “lonely” or think that there are no good men in the world when you they are the ones that think that we are gay, broke or some other dumb thing that they come up with. I really dont blame the dudes that come up and dont mess with them. WHO REALLY NEEDS THE DRAMA? Yall stay complaining and talk trash about somebody when yall are really the ones that need to be doin something instead of waiting for someone to take care of you and comming up off of someones elses shine. MAN yall chicks irritate me. I know the first thing that one yall lame ass chicks is gonna say is something dumb about you need a real man, or im a punk cause I am calling yall out, or something like that cause yall are just predictable like that. Half of yall some confused girls that hate men but love a women that looks and acts just like a man. dummies. so how about this stop hating on everybody thats actually doing something, shut up and keep looking at your desperate housewives, house wives of Atlanta, and make sure everytimes somebody takes a pic of you to show your butt while the rest of us are really doing something constructive.
Are you serious!
That’s funny considering how old ‘Murdick’ is a life long card carrying Republican who does everything for the SHEEP to view the world as he does. I’m not impressed and NO I won’t be attending that party. I would much rather be out on the streetz with the locals of Dc then any of these snotty temporary celebrities. I thought TI was suppose to be in jail by now and Uncle L with the Roids I bet he pisses on his own balls when he urniates. Russell Simmons he’s an asshole wouldn’t go anywhere near him.
@me,
You should dislike ALL haters.
carryON!
@BK I admire you opinion. Agree 100 &10
@ ME. shut the fuck up dumb ass hypocrite.you talking about black women complaining, well look at that full paragraph you typed of your nigga ass complaining. nigga please.
ti and ll are fine. jeezy is ugly and has the same hairline as neyo.they should be brothers. i love it when ll licks his lips. he is the true master of lips licking.
“And the winner of Wackest Party of 2009 is…”
p.s. PLEASE shut this black man vs. black woman sh*t up. if you don’t love your own, go enjoy “them.”
(i looked at the picture for the first time and said “ew”, than put my right hand on the computer screen to cover young jeezy and said “much better!!”)
TI and Jeezy are ya kiddin’ me? The Snowman and the Rubberband man with his guns. These are the hiphop artist they choose to ring in Obama’s inauguration…jeez. I’ll pass on this one. Talib, Mos Def, Roots,Dead Prez or B.E.P would have been a better choice or better yet Public Enemy.
Dang, y’all rough on Jeezy. It’s cool though, to each his own. I understand them wanting to be included, but what makes this event different from the damn BET Hip Hop Awards. JMO, but unless President Obama is showing up, this is pointless.
Does this mean that Shawty-Lo won’t get an invite?
B/T/W…Is that a band-aid on the left side of Jeezy’s head???? Lawd Jesus Take The Wheel cause that head is too much to handle!!
Hip hop is for homos! Even the name sounds gay. What a bunch of fags!
me
Sweetie, get a grip and an education. You should not stratify every black woman into categories without scietific proof to your views. It’s easy to have a slanted propanganda-driven opinion when there is bitterness involved from past hurts. You need to deal with your issues…
